WEEKEND SNACK SACK PROGRAM

Started in 2012, the Weekend Snack Sack Program began with a simple goal, to help provide children in Slaton who are in need with snacks and food to get them through the weekends.

Over the years, with generous donations from the community and successful fundraising efforts, the program has continued to grow. As the needs of local families increased, the Weekend Snack Sack Program expanded its support to include basic necessities such as bathing supplies and personal hygiene items.

Recognizing the growing need for additional support and resources, the Weekend Snack Sack Program made the decision to merge with the Slaton Education Foundation in 2026.

Through this merger, the Slaton Education Foundation and the members of the Weekend Snack Sack Program have joined together with a shared commitment, to support our children, strengthen our community, and ensure that our kids have the resources they need to thrive.
